We stayed at the Lancaster last Thursday and had such a pleasant experience! We wanted to get away for a night to celebrate our anniversary. My husband's Christmas party was also the same night so we figured we could knock two birds with one stone. The hotel brought champagne to our room which was such a thoughtful touch. The hotel...

We love being a part of folks' anniversary celebrations! Thanks for letting us join in on the fun. We also love Christmas- as you can tell from our decorations! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Hopefully you'll be back soon! Best, Lauren W, Hotel Management

This has to be an experience to remember. To begin my stay here, I was accommodated quickly thanks to Danny Seibert. Then once I made it to my room, WOW! I haven't seen rooms that have been taken care of as well as the team here has! If you are ever visiting Houston or planning an event in town, Lancaster...

Husband and I decided to make a night of it and stay downtown when attending a concert at Toyota Center. All I can say is I wish we'd stayed more than one night! The location was perfect. Not quite walking distance to the Toyota Center, but they offered a complimentary shuttle there, and to surrounding areas within a 3 mile...

We wish you'd stayed one more night too! And as you mentioned our location is definitely great for anything downtown, especially the Theater District. As a family-owned, independent hotel it is our goal to provide personalized service and always exceed our guests' expectations. I hope you'll be back again very soon. Best, Lauren W, Hotel Management

Everybody was extremely friendly and welcoming. It's a nice change from the big hotel chains. I highly recommend The Lancaster for your stay in Houston. Wi-Fi was included without any password or hassle, the room was very comfortable, and there was a very good breakfast included.

Sunday brunch prior to a matinee at Jones Hall...this cozy and intimate restaurant offers a nice selection albeit rather pedestrian for brunch.
Not too imaginative but really good food and good service.
And the places is busy so reservations are recommended. We walked up and thankfully got a table that, while nestled between two columns, was quite satisfactory.
Our host...

Thanks for your review of Bistro Lancaster. Our restaurant is sophisticated and cozy, and is a very popular spot for the theater and nightlife crowd, so I agree that reservations are always recommended. I hope you'll be back again soon- for brunch or to stay with us at the hotel! Sincerely, Lauren W, Hotel Management

Absolutely wonderful staff and concierge, Russell Casanovas is a dream! So kind and helpful and absolutely charming. He carried my stuff as he showed us to our room. The rooms are lovely and spacious, the beds are sooo comfortable, and the shower is wonderful! I loved this hotel and all its staff and extra goodies, like the snack room with...

Mr. Russel was me and my friends help for the night, and he was wonderful! He was incredibly funny and directed us where we needed to go, and was more than helpful in setting the reservation. The rooms were incredibly nice.

The Lancaster is a superb, boutique type hotel in the theater district. Staff are very friendly. Rooms very comfortable with quality furnishings and fittings. Bar and restaurant on the ground floor was good (great barman...) and a free car service is provided for local trips. If we ever get back to Houston...this is the only place to stay.

I attended a soiree one spring night till early in the morning. I was in the company of others and red was spilling all over our all white wardrobe. The piano was so inviting. I amazed many but in reality I was only drunk and inexperienced on the ivories. Do you think they all really noticed?

Great hotel in the middle of the theater and performance arts district within short walk to the Alley, Symphony, Opera, Ballet and other venues. Redecorated rooms with a wonderful ambiance. Excellent restaurant with great food and good wine list. Friendly staff.
